I threw in my photos, it is my own not someone else's, spent 6 pounds on a subscription! I have accumulated 23 dollars, but of course no one threw them off to me, a terrible site, only deception, I do not recommend it!

Not happy with clickasnap.com. Once you pay £ 2, wait 3-5 days for the ban. And if you get 1000 subscribers and views, they will be banned so as not to pay. Few people get from $ 15. I had 3 attempts and everything got banned. Don't waste your time on this tempting site.
Hi Irina,
ClickaSnap accounts are solely for the purpose of sharing images which are created by and owned by you. We do not support Creative Commons licences, or accounts whose intentions are to profit off of someone else’s work. This is outlined in our terms of service, our Paid Per View policy and there is even a highlighted warning message at the point of uploading a photo which reminds you that uploading stolen content is not permitted. Under no circumstances will be our Paid Per View benefit be applied to an account which has stolen content on it, and we stand by this term as reasonable and fair.
We will only ban an account when they are in breach of our terms of service. These terms are fairly simple and we outline these in our Terms of Service which are available to our members at all times, on our FAQ page and there are even reminders as to what these terms are at the point of uploading a photo. We ensure that we treat all of our members fairly and in line with these terms. Your dissatisfaction with you being held to these terms is not something I can agree is unfair.
We also have a countless number of users who can attest to receiving this benefit on multiple occasions. You can speak to them on the website's forum or via our Facebook Discussion Group (Search: ClickASnap discussion and advice group). You can also always contact our customer support team to discuss your payment request further, should you feel we have made a mistake.
Kind regards,

Clickasnap - The World's largest, paid per view, photo sharing platform. 'It pays to share'
Once on site, it's very difficult finding your account settings (in order to add content). I had to go back to my "Welcome email "to access my account button!
A "view"of your work is scrutinized to determine if it's an "authentic view". Not worth the trouble.
I opened, and closed my account on the same day!
Wrote an Email to customer service, which was never answered!
Not fun!
I'm sticking to my Pixpa website to sell my work; and just opened a Redbubble account as well. (RB is a "dream"to navigate, compared to Clickasnap.

After signing up, I was curious of how I would get paid. I clicked on "My Sales" and was IMMEDIATELY turned off when I saw, "Ammount to withdraw." It's never a good sign when the site can't even spell. I looked up the reviews for this site and saw the nasty replies that Tom leaves. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS SITE!
Hi Alexi,

I would also like to reassure you that as the team has grown, a large focus on improving customer support has been made, ensuring that our members experience with our customer support is always friendly and helpful!

Not worth the 30$ USD - when you first set up your account you are bombarded with traffic ( I assume directed from within) then (2 weeks later), it all but stops or at least this is what I experienced - I didn't not pay to promote my images, nonetheless. Server is very slow at times - SAVE YOUR hard earned money as it takes thousands of views of view to get even a penny paid out! READ THE FINE PRINT IN DETAIL - all the comments on your individual pics are from others asking you to promote there pics, any compliment on your pic is simply placed to entice you to promote others - WASTE OF TIME/MONEY FOR ME PERSONALLY- I deleted my account in less than 1 month
I have more than 840 views and so far I have not received payment tell me why this is not yet available?

I'm a studio owner, I've choose to subscribe with the pro seller monthly account, paid 6 euros and uploaded 20 pictures of best what I took in the past 3 years, when you upload the pictures you see many views and likes, then it stopped after that, I got less than 50 total views and it was increasing 1 or 2 each couple of days, so what I've got after week is 12 cent, yay, so after a month I may reach 48 cents... the site is spam and not worth to try, you'll burn money and time in useless site
Hi Allan,
As with any website, activity directly corresponds to your contribution to it, regardless of wether it is your personal website (google rankings require fresh content weekly for example) facebook (pages require fresh content daily) or a photo sharing website like ours. As you stated, upon uploading your photos you had lots of attention but as thousands, if not tens of thousands of photos are uploaded after yours then the attention decreases as the photos fall further down the category pages. To maintain this interest and increase your earnings all you had to do was upload a couple of photos per week. This keeps your profile in constant view and ensures interaction with your photos is maintained. None of this is the fault of the platform but is a factor of how you have used it i am afraid.
Furthermore, with the Pro account you are paying for access to a huge amount of features that would, in aggregate, cost you hundreds of euros a year to access across existing sites. Our site is not just a pay per view site, this is a bonus on top of all the other features we offer that you would have to pay far more to access elsewhere
I don't recommend giving this site any of your info. I signed up for a $2 per month subscription and they charged my PayPal almost $90! I got robbed and when I contacted the customer service they very rudely told me that they wouldn't give me any of my money back. I currently have a claim open with Paypal so hopefully, I can recover at least some of my money. Please be careful with scam sites like this!
Hi Shannon,
Clearly you did not sign up for our £2 per month option or you would not have been charged for the Annual Pro option at £57.60 per year (converted into dollars is roughly $90 at todays exchange rates). This does not make our website a scam, you were charged correctly, for the tier that you chose.
This is a gimmick website to trick you into thinking you can make money from your photography. They do not allow a refund of the annual subscription when users realize they will not make enough money to pay for their subscription. Trying to contact the company I was able to find how the company actually functions. If they had any respect for their customers they would provide clear info about how it all works before taking our money.
We do provide clear information; we have a detailed FAQ, a comprehensive Youtube channel, 3 facebook groups, a facebook page and you can join up for free, explore the site and ask questions of other users in our forums. If you then want to try the site then you can sign up for the default monthly payment option of £2 to try the site out for a short period of time.
We're not a scam, neither do we trick anyone into anything. We're a photo sharing and selling site with a plethora of unmatched features that you have to pay a very small fee to use, primarily because unlike Facebook we do not harvest your information and sell it to the highest bidder. The payments per view are just a bonus for those who do use paid accounts and put up high quality imagery
Just Loving It. You can start for free. Earn money in real time whilst still enjoying yourself and posting those beautiful photos: Including The ones you wouldn't dare or that your friends wouldn't be too interested in on other social media. Although you can do so when you want. Everyone's in the same boat here and like photography. The format being similar to other social media sites are a bonus and you can even open shop. So an all ın one site. You don't have to wait to see your earnings trickle in and build up like other sites.
You can start for free! And build it up to get paid views which really does happen. I have earned £3 pounds in a week just from views. Worth a try
Dont buy premium on this website. They deleted my most viewed posts and dont answering on email. Crap website!
Your posts were deleted because you directed a large amount of fake traffic to them
I tested this site on the aspect of making money with professional photography, but it's not worth your time. First of all, you have to subscribe to get paid, which is a bummer, and also not what I expected, so if you're looking for a free and easy way to make some extra bucks, this is not worth it. And also in my opinion, this website is badly designed, a bit barebones to be exact. It feels cheap.
And also, once you've created your account, you HAVE to subscribe to at least 6 Channels, which is stupid? And also the way the make you do it, is just hilarious, as they give you just 6 random small, probably fresh accounts with no pics, so even if you want to subscribe to profiles with beatiful pictures, you can't, because you have absolutely no options.
Dont waste your time.
But the biggest killer for professional photography is the picture quality, it's absolutely horrendous. The compression is awful, and kills every bit of detail you might wish to keep.
Hi Schmidt,
Firstly, thankyou for your constructive review. Our response as follows:
First of all, looking at Clickasnap as purely a way to make money off of views means you're probably not our target audience for the platform. Clickasnap is a holistic platform that encompasses a wide range of existing platforms into one place, and at a far lower cost. I am sure as photographer you use a platform like Flickr, petapixel or 500px the cost of these ranging from £60 to £350+ per annum. For example, the ability to share photos to an onsite audience, the ability to sell images across the planet, image protection systems, automated syndication systems and of course, potentially unlimited earnings from the pay per view aspect. Our platform offers far more, for far less cost than any other platform available today for image sharing. We have never portrayed ourselves as a 'free and easy way to make quick bucks' in fact, just Like Youtube or Spotify, the greater the more time, preparation and work that goes into your imagery the more views you will get and therefore the more sales and paid views you earn. (As an example, we have quite a few users with only a few uploads who start withdrawing within a few days of joining)
As for the site design, you are completely correct. But Clickasnap is constantly evolving. What it looks like today is a far cry from what it was last year and in 1 years time will be completely updated again. These things take time, and as a company with a relatively small team we do what we can in the time we have.
Yes, the sign up process makes you follow 6 people, but given you can easily unfollow these 6 people we do not really see this as a big issue. Plus, for many of our new users it starts to give them an understanding as to how the platform works.
Image Quality; out of 44 million annual users you're the first person to complain about this. However. Yes we do compress images for the following reasons:
1) Many images on the site are for sale. Given watermarks are useless, all showing a high resolution photo to the viewer does is give them the opportunity to take it for free
2) Most viewers really don't care that much if an image is compressed. They will never see the original RAW image, won't have calibrated monitors and are just there to consume and admire good photography
3) 75% of our audience is on mobile, and we are used in every country in the world. So out of every 10 images viewed, almost 8 of them will be on a screen the size of your palm and the last thing the viewer wants is a 10 megabyte image being downloaded onto their phone
I hope this helps
ClickASnap is a brilliant website for any person who is a fan of photography. You can earn money from enjoying photography and uploading your favourite pictures. People then view them and you start earning money.
The shop is a really good part of this site as I was able to earn more money by putting some of my best pictures up for sale. It was so easy I just clicked on what I wanted to sell how much I wanted for the pictures and the product that suited them best.
The instructional videos and help I have received from other users has made me a better photographer. I am now more motivated to pursue my favourite hobby which ahs made very happy.
Also this is a really nice touch. I had a few problems so asked the question and the response from the people who run the site was so quick and really helped.
I dont have paymens options, i have earn 30 dolars my profile shoot34.Do you help me please, great app, if you help me about my problem. Thanks
Such a waste of time & money, not to mention false advertising and extremely unprofessional communication via their customer service email.
At first I was a little sceptical, why hasn't anyone done this before? But, to be fair it's completely legit. I have earned money in the 12 months that i have been onboard and although it's not a get rich quick scheme it certainly pays out more than if you were to upload you photos to facebook alone.
There is a facebook group as well, so a real community that you can talk to including amateur, novice and professional photographers.
There is a free account with some limitations, then there is a £2, £4 and a £6 per month membership all with different features, so you can pick the one most suited, cancel at anytime.
I give it 10 out of 10, (if i could, lol)
Oswald, the owner, lies and changes how much he pays per view. On emails, he insisted it was 25 cents per view, but in reality I'm getting 0.0004 cents per view.
Hi Andrea, No where on the website do we state we pay 25 cents per view. Our landing pages and FAQ clearly state that we pay 0.25 cents per view, this is 1/4 of a cent, not 25 cents. In reality however, you are receiving 0.40 cents per view (2/5ths of a cent), approximately 50% more than we state on our landing pages. This is because the payment amounts change, as the site gets bigger and more successful our contributors are paid more
I hope this helps to clarify your issues
Created account 24 hours ago, uploaded pictures, upgraded my account to the highest level, uploaded more pictures and this mooring I spent over 30 minutes trying to open my account, finally the answer comes I DO NOT HAVE A PROFILE. Can anyone tell me why this happening? I thought upgrade will speed up things not slow it down. Why you charged me 2 times same amount?
Hi Tom, if you contact us via the 'Contact us' link on the bottom of every page we can look into this. But your profile has either been banned for breaching our image guidelines (stock imagery uploading/Nudity etc) or there is an error with your username having a space in it which was fixed recently
Hope this helps to answer your questions

Hi Kevin,
We were able to categorically evidence the images uploaded to your ClickASnap profile were not your own. With that in mind this review is particularly unfair as it is creating a false perspective of your experience with us.
ClickASnap accounts are solely for the purpose of sharing images which are created by and owned by you. We do not support Creative Commons licences, or accounts whose intentions are to profit off of someone else’s work. This is outlined in our terms of service, our Paid Per View policy and there is even a highlighted warning message at the point of uploading a photo which reminds you that uploading stolen content is not permitted.
Under no circumstances will be our Paid Per View benefit be applied to an account which has stolen content on it, and we stand by this term as reasonable and fair.
